Here’s a bummer: your car isn’t putting out its best performance when rolling off the assembly line. The main reason behind these limitations is due to the car manufacturers need to comply with different standards: EPA, gas mileage and safety. Also, different marketing techniques designed to push buyers towards more expensive models may also cause limitations to be added to an engine.

Fortunately, there is a quick and effective way to enjoy all that extra power your engine can produce without having to change any internals. Since today’s vehicles are computer-based, the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) controls most of the performance processes and settings of the car. By using a power programmer, you can modify the parameters of the ECU to provide better values and thus increase overall performance.

How they Work

By installing a power programmer, also known as performance tuners, you are basically tweaking your car’s computer by providing new settings which have been [...]

All too often buyers get lured in by a price that is seemingly too good to be true and [...]

Some of you may have noticed that our shopping portion of the site is down. I won’t mince words, times have been tough for us since Google changed some of their practices. Traffic to the site is down and sales have suffered due to this. We are a mom and pop run business and don’t have the deep pockets that some of our competitors have. We live and die by word of mouth and organic traffic. There are just too many competitors selling the same products over many different platforms, websites, eBay, Amazon, ect… for us to make a profit. Instead of throwing in the towel and shutting down the site, we have evaluated our position and decided that some changes would be necessary for us to remain a reliable source in the tuner industry. After careful consideration, we have made the decision to go back to our roots [...]

When tuning a vehicle, it’s easy to get caught up in an add-on craze and start putting everything on your car in an effort to optimize it. Unfortunately, many new tuners out there make the mistake of adding too much or installing add-ons that don’t really do anything for their car. In this article we’re going to take a look at five Honda parts you don’t need to make your Honda tuner perform better.

These are all parts to avoid regardless of your vehicle’s make or model, but since Honda is often the beginner tuner’s make of choice, I’m going to talk directly to the Honda owners for the purpose of this article.
